Half would probably be alright, too. Man, I ain't got no decision-making skills today. Anyway, content: Have a ridiculous (awesome?) batch of edits that I found years ago that I can't find any information on where it came from or anything like that. It's been sitting in a folder in the depths of my hard drive for ages. (I just noticed one strip is actually unedited. Huh.)

Captain_Maclaine posted:Backmasking was a short-lived moral panic in the 80s, with the most prominent bands/musicians to get accused of it being Judas Priest and Ozzy, the former after a troubled fan killed himself as I recall. To the surprise of pretty much no one, it turned out to be just hysteria, though in reaction some bands did do it as jokes; Weird Al backmasked "if you can hear this you've got too much time on your hands" or something similar onto one of his early albums. There's even earlier, fairly blatant examples of silly backmasking before then, with ELO including "The music is reversible, but time is not. Turn back, turn back!" backwards in the introduction to their song Fire On High and Pink Floyd including a lengthy message about finding "the hidden message" and to send replies care of "the funny farm" on their record The Wall. Of course, accusations of secret messages of ill intent extend even further back to The Beatles and other early rock and roll tape-manipulators.

idonotlikepeas posted:The joke, insofar as you can call it that, is that a piece of music, most likely this one, is so uplifting that it literally, physically lifts you off the ground. So much so that a description of it after the fact still has the power to do that. I like a good piano tune as much as the next guy, but this is a joke that is only going to work once even on the limited audience who will know what it's about, and Brooke has used it three times in a row because he wants to REALLY EMPHASIZE that he knows what a Debussy Arabesque is and that if you don't you just aren't classy enough to be reading his comic. Meh, Debussy. Dude was alright. Get some Mussorgsky going and crank the PA for more power.

Mechanigma posted:There is no comic worse than Rose is Rose. Not even Momma. I dunno. If RIR is just loving around with the Jojo's-style alter-ego, then it's just incomprehensible. It only gets vile when it lets the children talk in that mush-mouthed misspelled English. Hm. So, right now, my handicapping list looks like 1 - Momma 2 - Piranha Club 3 - Rose is Rose 4 - Stupid Future Private Dick Comix and I might be inclined to swap 2 and 3. (Oh Baby has been disqualified for performance-enhancing inks)

Magic Hate Ball posted:I'm at least entertained by Momma. It's reprehensible and moronic, but in an amusing way. Pirahna Club just grosses me out. Whereas I'm not. Momma's like the Lockhorns with fewer jokes, it's just a collection of non-characters that have no function other than to abuse each other. e: Literally every Momma strip, scrubbed of art, is just "here is an insult."

LtStorm posted:The most hilarious thing about Zen Pencils was, that one where Hayao Miyazaki pilots a mecha to destroy all criticism in the world? There was such a backlash from people critical of the artist putting words into the mouth of Miyazaki that he recanted and removed the name 'Miyazaki' from the comic. His comic about not listening to criticism lead to him listening to criticism which sort of undermined the entire thing. Amaaaaaaaazing. Oh drat.
